Mayor Eric Adams\u2019 top aide at City Hall has submitted his resignation \u2014 and couldn\u2019t help but take a dig at incoming lefty Mayor Zohran Mamdani, The Post has learned. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhile I told the press months ago that, \u2018I will never work for a socialist,\u2019 the mayor-elect\u2019s transition team needlessly included me (and you) last week on a list of 179 City Hall staffers it intends to replace on January 1, 2026,\u201d Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro said in a letter to Adams on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo need to have done so,\u201d Mastro wrote. \u201cWe will be leaving city government together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro is resigning, and says he wants no part of \u2018socialist\u2019 Zohran Mamdani\u2019s City Hall. EMILY MARTINKA<\/p>\n
Mastro, 69, who served as deputy mayor under Rudy Giuliani, was appointed to the same post by Adams<\/a> in March after a slew of resignations over the mayors now quashed federal corruption case.<\/p>\n The ex-federal prosecutor has made no secret of his disdain for Mamdani\u2019s social democratic leanings, and in particular has railed against the mayor-elect\u2019s<\/a> anti-Israel rhetoric.<\/p>\n In his resignation letter, Mastro thanked Adams for a second shot in city government. <\/p>\n \u201cIt is my understanding that I am the only person in modern city history to have served as top deputy and acting mayor in two different administrations \u2014 a distinction I will soon share with my successor in the incoming administration \u2014 proving there is still a place in city government for an elder statesman,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Zohran Mamadni included Randy Mastro in a list of City Hall staffers he intends to axe when he takes over as mayor.
